I hear ya buddy I was super excited when mine came too. I need to order “The Breakup” now
Company name was Quad-City Spotting Service. Their yard/shop/office was on West River Drive, across the street from the cemetary. I started part-time and quickly ended up full time. Started mid-summer of 1982. Company finally closed late in 1984 or early '85. Guy by the name of John Bost owned the company. They did lots of local truck load cartage around the Quad-Cities. I ran Davenport to Chicago daily most of the time. Ran to their Kansas City, Mo. Yard a bit. I got dispatched out of KC to Olatha, Ks, picked up a load of BFG tires for Case Burlington, Iowa. I drove a truck without a sleeper bunk, if I had to lay over the company paid for my room. My personal WORST payday was hauling a 45,000# load of bagged wheat germ from Ralston Davenport to Ashton Foods, Ashton, I'll, about the 62? Mile marker on I-88, I made $8.49 for about 7-8 hours work.Dennis,
Just curious, who did you drive for and what time period was this?
